Carlos PenaVega recently reflected on his experience touring nationally with Big Time Rush and the challenges they faced with One Direction as their opening act. PenaVega, a member of the American pop group alongside Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, and Logan Henderson, shared insights on the Better With U Tour in 2012.
He revealed that having One Direction as their openers proved to be difficult, as fans outside the theater would chant for the British boy band after their shows. PenaVega mentioned that Big Time Rush's tour was already sold out before One Direction joined, but the sudden rise in global popularity of the British group created a frenzy among fans.
